Jessica Kingsley Publishers Supporting Kids and Teens with Exam Stress in
Book SynopsisAs young people are exposed to more and more pressure at school, exam stress comes hand in hand. This workbook, a fun and interactive resource aimed at children and teens aged 10 and over, offers teachers, other professionals and parents tried and tested techniques to support young people's wellbeing through revision and exams.Applying a cognitive behavioural framework, it will help pupils to consider academic stress in terms of thoughts, feeling, body sensations and behaviour. Strategies encompass managing a child's lifestyle, namely exercise and diet, tried and tested CBT techniques, relaxation, positive self-talk and thought challenging, and other psychological methods such as mindfulness. Chapters will look at the day of the exam itself, evaluate stress in children with special educational needs and provide practical advice for parents as to how they can most successfully support their child.With photocopiable resources to use with the young person and suitable for either individual use or group work, Supporting Kids and Teens with Exam Stress in Schools will guide parents, teachers, tutors, therapists and other supporting adults to conquer students' fears, improve exam performance and, perhaps most important of all, maintain a work-fun balance in young people's lives.Trade ReviewComforting without being condescending, this book provides clear guidance and structured support for anyone worried about exams. Working through the activities will enable young people to understand and take control of their thoughts, feelings and behaviours and to take practical steps to setting and reaching their goals. (Oh, and there's great guidance and ideas for supporting adults too!) -- Dr Pooky Knightsmith, Mental Health Advisor, Author, Speaker & EducatorA versatile, user friendly and highly practical resource that I can see will be of benefit for young people, their parents and a range of professionals. The book is easy to navigate thus making it perfect for individualising the support and development needed and wanted. I can see its applicability for individuals and groups alike. The chapter that focuses on the supporting adult themselves is a real bonus and an important starting point. I highly recommend and will start making use of immediately. -- Dr. Rebecca Williamson, Senior Educational Psychologist, Achieving for Children and Academic and Professional Tutor, University College London.This brilliant book is accessible for all ages from the Year 6 pupil dealing with their SATs to the Year 13 student preparing for their A-level examination and university life. I liked the information section for adults, the useful pointers to websites and information and the reflection for parents and adults so that they could appreciate what our young people are experiencing. It has a user-friendly layout that you can work through on a section-by-section basis, you can then dip in and out of the sections as needed to refresh, top up and reflect for last minute revision. The hands-on practical activities, the hints and guidance on a range of topics make this book a 'go to' guide for parents, kids and professionals. I loved the top tips, loved the illustrations, the language was accessible to all and the fact that all activities could be group or individual. It was real, thoughtful, empathetic and enabled the kids to develop resilience rather than reliance - I really loved it! -- Siobhán Lowe, Head Teacher, Tolworth Girls' School and Sixth FormTable of Contents1.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Deeno's Dream Journeys in the Big Blue Bubble: A
Book SynopsisDeeno's Dream Journeys in the Big Blue Bubble is a fun and easy-to-use guide to a special relaxation technique for children. Adapted from the system of Autogenics, the six-week programme uses positive affirmations and guided imagery to help children manage their emotions, let go of anxiety and feel calm and confident. Each week, the child is given a new set of 'magic words': a relaxation tool they can draw upon whenever they feel stressed or anxious. An illustrated story based around these words, where the child is asked to imagine they are going on an adventure in a big blue bubble with Deeno the Dinosaur, draws the child into a safe and magical world and guides their minds and bodies into a state of deep, calming relaxation. Suggestions for follow-up practice and creative activities based around that week's words accompany each session, and encourage children to tap into their own imaginations. Separate introductions for parents, teachers and other professionals provide advice on how best to use the technique, whether at home, at school, or elsewhere. There is also a children's introduction, which introduces Deeno and explains the technique in accessible terms.Accessible and engaging, Deeno's Dream Journeys in the Big Blue Bubble is an ideal tool for helping children develop effective relaxation skills in a fun and imaginative way.Trade ReviewThis book is a wonderful introduction into the field of Autogenic Therapy and can extend into the practice of mindfulness. It gives children tools that they can use throughout their lives. I would recommend this book to parents or anyone working with children who want to introduce a reflective and calming exercise or the tools to self-soothe during heightened emotional states. -- Frontline, Angelina Veiga, Psychotherapist, Centre for Professional TherapyThis is a slender volume, and a very practical book, with lots of pictures and diagrams and exercises. The author says the book was a "real pleasure" to write; it was a joy to read too! After a short explanation about relaxation and why it is important, the book teaches some simple and easy to use relaxation techniques that can be used with children... I recommend it to all Cafcass practitioners, but my quess is that Family Support Workers will find the most use for it. -- CAFCASSA truly inspiring book that encouraged me to give my children the gift of relaxation. I was amazed by my son’s responsiveness to the stories and Deeno, the main character. A wonderful resource to be used by parents and other professionals alike. -- Emma Coore, GP Hereford, Herefordshire, West EnglandAs a paediatrician I see many children who need to learn how to relax and this book gives parents, teachers and the children themselves a wonderfully imaginative way of learning this skill. -- Janet Donnelly, Consultant Community Paediatrician in Kendal, Cumbria, UK.Provides a fine introduction to special relaxation techniques for children...

St Martin's Press Why Zebras Dont Get Ulcers
Book SynopsisRenowned primatologist Robert Sapolsky offers a completely revised and updated edition of his most popular work, with nearly 90,000 copies in print Now in a third edition, Robert M. Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress.As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear-and the ones that plague us now-are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer. When we worry or experience stress, our body turns on the same physiological responses that an animal's does, but we do not resolve conflict in the same way-through fighting or fleeing. Over time, this activation of a stress response makes us literally sick. Combining cutting-edg

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and
Book SynopsisAn updated and expanded edition of the definitive guide to adaptogenic herbs • Includes a Materia Medica with monographs covering 25 adaptogens, including eleuthero, ginseng, rhodiola, schisandra, ashwagandha, licorice, shatavari, reishi, and holy basil, as well as complementary nervines, restorative tonics, and nootropics • Explains how adaptogens increase the body’s resistance to adverse influences, increase energy and stamina, and counter the effects of age and stress on the body • Details the actions, properties, preparation, and dosage for each herb and their uses in Ayurveda and Chinese medicine and as remedies for animals Every day our bodies strive to adapt and stay balanced, energized, and healthy, yet chronic stress and the resulting elevation of stress hormones such as cortisol have been shown to be major factors behind not only fatigue and weight gain but also many chronic and degenerative diseases. In this updated edition of the definitive guide to adaptogenic herbs, clinical herbalist David Winston and researcher Steven Maimes provide a comprehensive look at adaptogens: non-toxic herbs such as ginseng, eleuthero, and ashwagandha that help the body “adapt” to the many influences it encounters and manage the stresses it experiences. They also increase stamina and energy, boost cognitive function, restore the immune system, and counter the effects of aging, especially when used in appropriate combinations. Beginning with a history of the use of adaptogens, including in Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and Russian medicine, the book examines how these herbal remedies work and why they are so effective at combating stress-induced illness and ailments. The extensive Materia Medica includes monographs on 25 adaptogens, including eleuthero, ginseng, rhodiola, schisandra, ashwagandha, shatavari, reishi, and holy basil, as well as complementary nervines, restorative tonics, and nootropic herbs, such as milky oats, astragalus, St. John’s wort, and ginkgo. Each monograph presents the latest scientific research and details the origin, traditional and clinical uses, actions, properties, preparation, and dosage for each herb. The book also includes guidance on adaptogenic remedies for our animal companions. Aimed not only at herbalists but also those interested in natural health, this guide to adaptogens will allow you to safely and effectively use these herbal remedies to enhance your health and improve your chances of living a longer, healthier, and well-balanced life.Trade Review“There has never been a time when more people at once have suffered from anxiety, sleep disorders, stress, and immune system dysfunction. Conventional medicine provides us only with tools that suppress at best, harm at worst. Yet there is another way, one that is both ancient and modern, a class of herbs called adaptogens. And who better to enlighten us on the history, benefits, and use of these herbs, trusted across cultures, than an herbalist’s herbalist, universally trusted for his knowledge of both botanical medicine history and use. In this book, David Winston provides us with a tool for resilience that we need now more than ever and that is readily accessible to all who want to welcome medicinal plants into their healing path.” * Aviva Romm, MD, herbalist, author of Botanical Medicine for Women’s Health and The Adrenal Thy *“Here is an herbal gem! Few people know and understand the properties and actions of herbs as well as David Winston. His expertise lies not only in how herbs were used historically but in the latest scientific research as well. Melding information from many traditions, David paints a complete picture of their use and effectiveness. This updated and expanded Adaptogens is a welcome addition for anyone looking to improve their health. This book will expand your understanding of adaptogen herbs, their history, and their relevance in today’s chronic-stress society.” * Phyllis D. Light, MA, RH(AHG) *“Authoritative, indispensable Herbalism at its best. A welcome second edition that confirms the place of this exceptional book on every herbalist’s bookshelf.” * David Hoffmann, BSc, FNIMH, Principle Scientist at Traditional Medicinals, author of Medical Herbali *“David’s new edition of Adaptogens offers so much more than most of the herbal books available today. His wisdom, insights and experience shine through every page, guiding and inspiring the reader to find higher health and vitality and protect against the harmful effects of daily stress in a practical and clear style that is imminently accessible.” * Christopher Hobbs, Ph.D., L.Ac., A.H.G., coauthor of Grow It and Heal It *"David Winston is one of the foremost clinical herbalists of our time. He is a beloved speaker at medical conferences due to his encyclopedic knowledge of plants and his mastery of teaching to a wide variety of audiences. He knows not only western herbs, he is adept in using herbal foundations of Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medical systems, and weaves molecular, traditional, energetic wisdom together with finesse. These varied skill sets make David a treasure trove of herbal knowledge and his books display his deep understanding and practical experience, all on a base of human kindness." * Jill Stansbury, ND *“I consider this book essential for clinical herbal practice. It is also excellent for all serious students and home herbalists. It reduces to gentle readability the problems inherent in the concept of the adaptogen, rescuing it from both faddism and skepticism, defining it against a backdrop of related and different concepts. It then provides an apothecary of adaptogens that is comprehensive, practical, and will instill confidence in the herbalist using these important plant medicines.” * Matthew Wood, MS (Herbal Medicine), Registered Herbalist (AHG) *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction Part One: Herbal Adaptogens 1 Herbal Medicine around the World 2 Adaptogens: An Overview 3 History of Adaptogens4 Actions of Adaptogens 5 Adaptogens and the Stress Response 6 Health Benefits of Adaptogens Part Two: Materia Medica7 Monographs on Adaptogens Well-Researched Adaptogens American Ginseng • Ashwagandha • Asian Ginseng • Cordyceps • Eleuthero • Rhaponticum • Rhodiola • Schisandra • Shilajit Probable Adaptogens Cistanche • Cynomorium • Holy Basil • Morinda • Shatavari Possible Adaptogens Codonopsis • Guduchi • Horny Goat Weed • Jiaogulan • Licorice • Maca • Manchurian Aralia • Prince Seng • Reishi • Russian Devil’s Club • White Bryony 8 Nervines: Complementary Herbs for Adaptogens Betony • Blue Vervain • Chamomile • Fresh Milky Oat • Hawthorn • Lemon Balm • Linden • Mimosa • Motherwort • Passionflower • Skullcap • St. John’s Wort 9 Nootropics: Complementary Herbs for Adaptogens Bacopa • Bhringraj • Chinese Polygala • Ginkgo • Gotu Kola • Lavender • Rosemary • Shankhpushpi • White Peony10 Restorative Tonics: Complementary Herbs for Adaptogens Amla • Astragalus • Bee Pollen • Chyawanprash • Goji Berry • Nettle Seed • Processed Rehmannia • Saw Palmetto • Suma Part Three: Herbal Adaptogens in Use 11 Clinical Use of Adaptogens 12 Adaptogenic Herbs in Combination 13 Adaptogens and Restorative Tonics as Food 14 Adaptogens for Animals Resources Glossary BibliographyIndex

HarperCollins Publishers Tiny Traumas
Book SynopsisWhen little things have big impacts. This book is for anyone who feels that they're sleepwalking through life, looking for answers to challenging emotions and the practical tools to begin living the life they want.How are you really feeling? A bit blah, meh or simply I don't actually know'. If this is your honest, knot-in-the-throat response, take a moment breathe and let me reassure you that it's not you, it's what's happened to you over the years. You can't quite put your finger on it, but somehow you just don't feel like you're thriving or truly participating in your own life.This is the result of a build-up of life's scrapes, papercuts and bruises that have left you feeling simply not ok'. Emotional illiteracy, microaggressions, challenging familial relationships, toxic positivity and gaslighting are some examples of what I call Tiny T' trauma the impact of which often leads to problems such as high-functioning anxiety, languishing, perfectionism, comfort eating and sleep disturbance, to name but a few.We have been fooled into believing that Tiny T' trauma doesn't matter. There always seem to be huge, intractable problems in the world, so we tend to overlook those small, everyday injuries that drill down to your core. This leaves us with an undercurrent of constant melancholy and niggling pinpricks of anxiety, all wrapped up in the film of other people's Insta-perfect lives.But life doesn't have to be experienced in this suffocating way; we owe it to ourselves to develop Awareness, Acceptance, and take Action on our Tiny T trauma, no matter how small', and to start living every day as we deserve.'Trade Review"This book will come as a real relief to many people. If you have been finding it difficult to understand why you are struggling mentally and emotionally, this book is for you."

Page Two Books, Inc. Stress Wisely: How to Be Well in an Unwell World
Book SynopsisHow do we begin working towards living the good life when the global landscape is ever changing? What even is the good life anymore? We could try to sift out the philosophical and spiritual components of one-but where do a clean house, remembering teacher gifts at the holidays, working under a mediocre boss with unreasonable expectations, and our jean size figure into the equation? Life is not only hard as hell but also joy-filled, complicated, and messy. Its pace has dramatically increased and the bodies that carry us are desperately trying to catch up. In Stress Wisely, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe draws on her rich research in wellness, stress, and resiliency to show us what got us into this situation in the first place, then gently guides us towards navigating the chaos in the best possible way. Through exploring eight touchstones of wellness (physical, emotional, intellectual, social, environmental, occupational, financial, spiritual), she suggests not how to avoid stress but how to live a full, healthy, and whole life in inherently tough circumstances. With her signature honesty and humor, relatability and intimacy, Hanley-Dafoe offers us the gift of awareness-when we can see clearly all the forces at play, we can choose new strategies and actions to support our wellness at many levels. Amid the noise and the mayhem and the stress, we can find a place within ourselves where we are okay. Just as we are, truly okay.

But what if changing how you think about stress could make you happier, healthier, and better able to reach your goals? Combining exciting new research on resilience and mindset, Kelly McGonigal, PhD, proves that undergoing stress is not bad for you; it is undergoing stress while believing that stress is bad for you that makes it harmful. In fact, stress has many benefits, from giving us greater focus and energy, to strengthening our personal relationships. McGonigal shows readers how to cultivate a mindset that embraces stress, and activate the brain''s natural ability to learn from challenging experiences. Both practical and life-changing, The Upside of Stress is not a guide to getting rid of stress, but a toolkit for getting better at it—by understanding, accepting, and leveraging it to your advantage.
